The work of preparing Intemational Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in @ subject for which @ technical committee has been established hes the right to be represented on thet committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical stendardizetion, Draft Intemational Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication es an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bocies casting a vote. International Standard ISO 7730 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 189, Ergonomics, Subcommittee SC 5, Ergonomics of the physi- cal environment. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 7730:1984), of which it constitutes a technical revision. Annexes A, B end C form an integral part of this International Standerd. Annexes D, E and F are for information only. ISO 7730:1994(E) eso Introduction This Intemational Standard is one of @ series of standards, specifying methods of measuring and evaluating moderate and extreme thermal en- vironments to which man is exposed, This International Standard covers the evaluation of moderate thermal en- vironments. Man's thermal sensation is mainly related to the thermal balance of his body es @ whole. This balance is influenced by his physical activity and clothing, as well es the environmental parameters: air temperature, mean fadient temperature, air velocity end air humidity. When these factors have been estimeted or measured, the thermal sen- sation for the body as @ whole can be predicted by céleulating the pre- dicted mean vote (PMV) index as described in clause 3. The predicted percentage of dissatisfied (PPO) index provides information ‘on thermal discomfort or thermal dissatisfaction by predicting the per- centage of people likely to fee! too hot or too cold in a given environment. ‘The PPD can be obtained from the PMV as described in clause 4. ‘Thermal discomfort may also be caused by an unwanted local cooling (or heating) of the body. The most common local discomfort is draught, de- fined as a locel cooling of the body caused by air movement. Clause 5 describes how the percentage of dissatisfied due to dreught can be pre- dicted from the model of draught rating, Cleuse 6 deals with specifications on thermal environmental conditions acceptable for comfor. Dissatisfaction may be caused by hot or cold dis comfort for the body as a whole, Comfort limits can in this case be ex- pressed by the PMV and PPD indices. But thermal dissatisfaction may elso be caused by draught and comfort limits may be expressed by the model of draught reting Recommended comfort requirements are given separately in annex D. If required, wider thermal comfort limits then recommended in annex D may be established following the principles laid down in this Intemational Standard. INTERNATIONAL STANDARD © ISO ISO 7730:1994(E) Moderate thermal environments — Determination of the PMV and PPD indices and specification of the conditions for thermal comfort 1 Scope ‘The purpose of this International Standard is a) to present @ method for predicting the thermal sensation and the degree of discomfort (thermal dissatisfaction) of people exposed to moderete + thermal environments, end b}_ to specify acceptable thermal environmental con- ditions for comfort. ‘The International Standard applies to healthy men and women. It was originally based on studies of North ‘American and European subjects but agrees also well with recent studies of Japanese subjects exposed to moderate thermel environments. It is expected to ap ply with good approximation in most parts of the . world, but ethnic and national-geogrephic deviations may occur and require further studies. It applies to people exposed to indoor environments where the aim is to attain thermal comfort, or indoor environ- ments where moderate devietions from comfort oc- cur. In extreme thermal environments other International Standards apply (see cleuse 2 and annex F). Deviations may occur for sick and disabled people. This International Standerd may be used in the design of new environments or in assessing existing cones. It has been prepared for working environments but can be applied to any kind of environment. 1) To be published. 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standerd.

Predicted mean vote (PMV) 3.1 Determination ‘The PMV is an index that predicts the mean value of the votes of a large group of persons on the following 7-point thermal sensation scale: 1SO 7730:1994(E) +3 hot +20 warm +1 slightly warm 0 neutral =1 slightly cool =2 cool -3 cold ‘The PMV index can be determined when the activity (metabolic rate) and the clothing (thermal resistance) are estimated, and the following environmental pa- rameters are measured: air temperature, mean radiant temperature, relative air velocity and partial water va- pour pressure (see ISO 7726). The PMV index is based on heat balance of the hu- man body. Man is in thermal balance when the internal heat production in the body is equal to the loss of heat to the environment. In @ moderate environment, man's thermoregulatory system will automatically try to modify the skin tem- perature and the sweat secretion to maintein heat Balance. In the PMV index the physiological response of the thermoregulatory system has been related sta- tistically to thermal sensation votes collected from more than 1 300 subjects. The PMV is given by the equation: PMV = (0,303 e °° + 0,028) {(M — W) ~ 3,05 x 1079 x [5 733 - 6,99(M — W) ~ pj} 0,42 x [(M—W) ~ 68,15) - 1.7 x 10° (5 867 ~ p,) ~ 0,001 4M (34 — 1.) ~ 3,96 x 10° % x [q+ 273)" = + 273)'] - Sorelle - 4)} “) where tg = 35,7 — 0,028(M ~ W) ~ Laf3,96 x 107% * [Qa + 273)" - (+ 273)'] + fotella~ 4)} 2) 1 metabolic unit = 1 met = 58,2 Wim? 3) 1 clothing unit = 1 clo = 0,185 m™"CW ©1so 2,38 (ty — 1)°7 for 2,38(ty — %)°7 > 12,14 Vy, 12,14/ Vy, for 2,38(ty — 4)°?8 < 12,1 fm [1200 # 1,200!q for fy < 0.078 mc fs 11,05 + 0.645/q for I > 0,078 m**CW where PMV is the predicted mean vote; Mis the metabolic rate, in watts per square metre of body surtace area™, W is the externsl work, in watts per square metre, equal to zero for mos} activities; Jy is the thermal resistance of clothing, in square metres degree Celsius per watt; fy is the ratio of man's surface area while + clothed, to man’s surface area while nude: 1 is the air tempersture, in degrees Celsius; i is the mean radiant temperature, in de- grees Celsius; is the relative sir velocity (relative to the human body), in metres per second; Pr, is the partial water vapour pressure, pascals; fe is the convective heat transfer coefficient, in watts per square metre degree Celsius; fy is the surface temperature of clothing, in degrees Celsius. From equation (1) the PMV can be calculated for aif- ferent combinations of metabolic rate, clothing, air temperature, mean radiant temperature, air velocity and air humidity. The equations for y and A, may be solved by iteration. The PMV index is derived for steady-state conditions but can be applied with good epproximation during minor fluctuations of one or more of the veriables, provided that time-weighted averages of the variables during the previous 1 h period are applied. It is recommended to use the PMV index only for values of PMV between — 2 and + 2. Furthermore, it is recommended to use the PMV index when the six main parameters are inside the following intervals: ©1so M = 46 Wim? to 232 Wim? (0,8 met to 4 met) Iq= 0 mPC]W to 0,310 m™.C/W (0 clo to 2 clo) t= 10°C 10 30°C j= 10°C 10 40°C Vy =O mls to 1 m/s NOTE 1 During light, mainly sedentary ectivity, @ mean velocity inside this range may be felt 2s 2 draught. To limit the draught, the mean velocity should be lower than specified in figure D.2. Ps 0 Pato 2700 Pa NOTE 2 Inside this range it is furthermore rec- ‘ommended that the relative humidity be kept between ‘30 % and 70 % (see annex D). ‘The metabolic rate can be estimated using table A.1 and the thermal resistance of clothing can be esti- mated using tables E.1 and E.2, taking into account the type of work and the time of year. For varying metabolic rates, it is recommended to estimate 8 time-weighted average during the previous 1 h period. ‘The PMV may then be determined in one of the fok lowing ways: 2) from equation (1) using a computer. A BASIC program is given in ennex 8 b) directly from annex C, where tebles of PMV vel ues are given for different combinations of ec tivity, clothing, operative temperature and relative velocity. NOTE 3 The operative temperature g is the uniform temperature of @ radiantly biack enclosure in which an ‘occupant would exchange the seme amount of heat By fadiation plus convection as in the actual non-uniform ‘environment, In most practical cases where the relative velocity is small (< 0,2 mis), or where the difference between mean radiant and air temperature is small (‘<4 /*C), the operative temperature can be calculated with sufficient approximation as the mean velue of sir ‘and mesn radiant temperature. For higher precision the following formula may be used: eye (1 Ali where the value of A can be found from the values be low as a function of the relative air velocity, vy, in me ‘wes per second: ww <02 021006 06 101.0 4 08 os 07 ISO 7730:1994(E) ‘The PMV values given in annex C apply for 2 relative humidity of 50 %, The influence of humidity on thermat sensation is small at moderate temperatures close to comfort and may usually be neglected when determin- ing the PMV valve. ©) By direct measurement, using an integrating sen- sor. 3.2 Applications ‘The PMV index can be used to check whether @ given thermal environment complies with the comfort cri teria given in clause 6 and annex D. ‘The PMV index may also be used to establish wider fimits for acceptability in spaces with comfort re- ‘quirements lower than those given in clause 6 and annex D. By setting PMV = 0, en equation is established which predicts combinations of activity, clothing and en- virénmental parameters which will provide @ thermelly neutral sensation. ‘As an exemple, figureD.1 shows the optimal oper- ative temperature as a function of activity and cloth- ing. 4 Predicted percentage of dissatisfied (PPD) ‘The PMV index predicts the mean velue of the ther- mal votes of a large group of people exposed to the ‘seme environment. But individual votes are scattered around this mean value and it is useful to predict the number of people likely to feel uncomfortably warm or cool. ‘The PPD index establishes @ quantitative prediction of the number of thermally dissatisfied people. ‘The PPD predicts the percentage of 2 large group of people likely to feel too warm or cool, ie. voting hot (43), warm (+2), cool (= 2) or cold {~3) on the 7-point thermal sensation scale. When the PMV value has been determined, the PPO can be found from figure 1, or determined from the equation PPD = 100 — 95 x @7 2002S PMV #0217 9x PH) The PPD-index predicts the number of thermally dis- satisfied persons among a large group of people. The rest of the group will feel thermally neutral, slightly warm, or slightly cool. The predicted distri: bution of votes is given in table 1.

The draught rating may be expressed as the percentage of people pre- dicted to be bothered by draught. The dreught rating (OR) may be calculated by the following equation (model of draught rating): DR = (34 ~ 4.) (v — 0,05)°(0,37.v-Tu + 3,14) where DR is the drought rating, ie. the percentage of people dissatisfied due to draught; Tu is the local turbulence intensity, in per cent, defined as the ratio of the standard deviation of the local air velocity to the lo- cal mean air velocity. ‘The model of draught rating is based on studies comprising 150 subjects exposed to air temperatures of 20°C to 26 °C, mean air velocities of 0,05 m/s to 0,4 m/s and turbulence intensities of 0% to 70%. ‘The model applies to people at light, mainly sedentary sso ie ©1so ‘activity, with a thermal sensation for the whole body close to neutral. The sensation of draught is lower at activities higher than sedentary end for people feeling warmer then neutral. 6 Acceptable thermal environments for comfort ‘Thermal comfort is defined as that condition of mind which expresses satisfaction with the thermal en- Vironment. Dissatisfaction may be caused by warm ‘or cool discomfort of the body as a whole as. ex pressed by the PMV and PPD indices, But thefmel dissatistaction mey also be caused by an unwanted cooling (or hesting) of one particular part of the body, for example draught as expressed by thé model of draught rating. Local discomfort may also be caused by an abnormally high vertical temperature difference between head and ankles, by too warm or cool a floor ‘or by too high a radiant temperature asymmetry. Dis- 1SO 7730:1994(E) comfort may also be caused by too high @ metabolic rate, or by heavy clothing. Due to individual differences, it is impossible to specify a thermal environment thet will satisfy every- body. There will elways be a percentage of dissetis- fied occupants. But it is possible to specify environments predicted to be acceptable by @ certain percentage of the occupants. Comfort requirements ‘are recommended in annex D, predicting en accept- able thermal sensation for 90 % of the occupants end predicting that 85% of the occupants will not be bothered by draught. In some cases @ higher thermal quality than men- tioned above (fewer dissatisfied) may be desired. In other cases a lower quality (more dissatisfied) may be sufficient. In both cases the PMV and PPD indices end the model of draught rating may be used to determine other ranges of environmental parameters than rec- ‘ommended in ennex D.

Figure D.1 — Optimal operative temperature (corresponding to PMV = 0) as a function of clothing and activity 2 1SO 7730:1994(E) Of particular interest in practice is light, mainly sed- entary, activity (70 Wim! = 1,2 met). This activity is characteristic of many occupied spaces, for exemple offices and homes. For this common case comfort limits for the operative temperature are listed in D.1.1 and 0.1.2. Subslause D.1.1 covers winter conditions where clothing of 1 clo = 0,155 m*"C/W is assumed. Sub- clause D.1.2 covers summer conditions where cloth- ing of 0,5 clo = 0,078 m*.*C/W is assumed. The PMV and PPD indices express warm and cool discomfort for the body as @ whole. But thermal dis satisfaction may also be caused by unwanted cooling (or"heating) of one particular part of the body (local discomfor). The most common cause of local dis- comfort is draught. To limit the draught rating, DR, to 18 %, it is recommended to keep the local mean vel city lower than specified in figure 0.2, But local dis- comfort may also be caused by an abnormally high vertical temperature difference between head and ankles, by too warm or too cool a floor or by too high a radiant temperature asymmetry. Limits for these factors are listed for light, mainly sedentary, activity in subcleuses D.1.1 and D,1.2. If these limits are met, less than 5 % of the occupants are predicted to feel uncomfortable due to local cooling (or heating) caused by each of the three above-mentioned factors, Often it will be the same persons who are sensitive to different types of local discomfort. For instance, a person sensitive to draught may also be sensitive to 2 local cooling caused by radiant asymmetry or by a cold floor. Such a cold-sensitive person may also more easily experience cool ciscomfort for the body as a whale. Therefore, the PPD, the DR, end the percent- ages of dissatisfied caused by other types of local discomfort should not be added. It is recommended that the relative humidity be kept between 30% and 70%, The limits are set to de- crease the risk of unpleasantly wet or dry skin, eye invitation, static electricity, microbial growth and re- spiratory diseases. If the environmental conditions are inside the comfort limits recommended in this annex, itis estimated that more than 80 % of the occupants will find the thermal conditions acceptable. 22 © 1so D.1.1.
